Case Profile for Miles McGrath
Miles McGrath institutes a city wide blackout in order to invoke the CDC’s protocol to transport all of their Class A viruses in the event of a sustained power outage. Miles hires a team that Red just happens to know so Tom joins the train heist to steal a rare virus that may just save Kirk’s life. Meanwhile liz finds a journal of her mothers, or so she thinks, and learns that Katarina was assigned to Red to seduce him much like Tom was assigned to her. Can we believe any of the information provided in this episode or is it all a distraction presented by Kirk. We discuss it all and more in this week’s episode.

The Music of Miles McGrath
We start off the show this week with “Yadnus” from !!! as Miles’s team does their best black ops impression to take out the local power station. Later while Scotland Yard detectives stake out Miles, we hear Christopher Blue’s “You Got What i Like”. In the best scene of the night, Elizabeth and Tom play their best version of Danny Ocean to the tune of “Bongo Fury” by Shawn Lee. And last but not least we conclude with Harrison Brome’s “Fill Your Brains” which is exactly what Samar is doing when her head explodes over Aram’s marinara date and Elizabeth’s too when she learns about Kirk’s blood disorder.
You can hear these songs via the official Blacklist playlist on Spotify or the same playlist recreated by us on Apple Music.

That was more like it – a season premiere quality episode.
Now it feels like Blacklist is back to true form.
This episode had a pivotal bad guy.
The Task Force Headquarters was relevant again – screwing things up, then eventually rectifying their errors.
Red apparently handed Liz most of the missing pieces to her back-story – AND we find out that Constantine is like Fat Bastard from Austin Powers fame… “yumm – Baby. The other other-white-meat”.
Samar seemed to have quietly reversed her alienation with her colleagues, then got her comeuppance in the closing phone call scene with Aram. I have to give this episode a rating of “Nine Naked Nubile Shower Buddies” out of Ten. You can tell Aram is an I.T. nerd and not a jock. A jock would have told Samar to come over – because he needed a second Shower Buddy to help out.
My favorite segment was the Tom and Liz tag team act to secure the access keycard and the evidence she needed to see. They worked well together in the mini-scam. It reminded me of other slick cons like in ‘The Thomas Crown Affair’ and ‘The Sting’.
My least favorite bit is seeing Kaplan dragged around on a drop cloth through the forest – my brain immediately screamed Karl, from ‘Sling Blade’. I can only imagine the first words she hears after she comes-around will be, “I like them French fried potaters.”
hey guys i loved this episode and i think that pause moments from Katrina were a directors point of view of saying “there is something messed up here”
because what if that pause after Katrina says Masha is safe tells us that “Katrina never actually knew who the father was” and
and for troy and Aron i get that people are not okay with this dairy thing but this was written 30 years ago where there were no computers or iPhone’s or tabs to put a password lock on it.if you understand she might have written this when Liz was 2 or 3 that is 30 years ago if you ask any one from that time line every one would have written down their own thoughts.may be she hid it in the palace where no one find it “technically no one found it until FBI arrived and did a search”
if you take the timeline in consideration we here conversations from fire the man says “this is why you came for to spy on me,to betray me” and the women even says that she loves him and she wants to hep him and protect him this 100%conforms me that the fight was between Red and Katrina that night and Liz shot Red.
I also think Red may have first thought that Liz was his daughter since he had an affair with her so he took Liz away because i don’t think DNA test was in handy that time to know for red about Liz being his own daughter or not. so he thought(or may be she is his daughter)and took Liz away.
And i don’t think that the dairy is fake i think its 100% legit because if i were krik and i want Liz to know things than i would never want her to know that i had a blood disorder and i may be needing blood and bone marrow.since it was clearly written about every thing i think this dairy is legit
I would totally love what you think about this guys thanks for the awesome recap
